Woke up with a migraine out of nowhere — and now it won’t stop?

You’re not alone. In this episode of the Migraine Heroes Podcast, we explore the confusing, frightening experience of getting your first-ever migraine, especially in adulthood. Whether it started last month or you’ve recently felt like something in your body has changed for good — this conversation is for you.

Hosted by Diane Ducarme, who has helped hundreds of women break free from chronic migraine patterns, this episode unpacks the medical mystery of “why now?” with clarity and compassion.

You’ll learn:

🔹 Why first migraines can show up later in life, even if you’ve never had one before

🔹 What shifts in your nervous system, hormones, and lifestyle may be triggering this change

🔹 How trying to "fix it" fast with meds can backfire — and create chronic migraine cycles

🔹 The most overlooked root cause behind many first-time attacks

If you're overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid this might be your “new normal,” take a breath. There’s another path — and you don’t have to walk it alone.

For women, men, and children who suffer from migraine disease, Migraine Heroes is your go-to resource for understanding, managing, and overcoming migraine attacks.

We cover all types of migraines and related headaches, including primary and secondary migraines, chronic migraines, and cluster migraines. We dive deep into the complexities of migraine with aura and migraine without aura, as well as rarer forms like hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, and acephalgic migraine (silent migraine). Our discussions also extend to cervicogenic headaches, ice pick headaches, and pressure headaches, which often mimic migraine or contribute to overall migraine burden.
